17/Nov/2020

The cargo hold of the "Sutong No. 1 Ship" anchored in the waters of Jiaolong Heavy Industry Wharf, then suddenly burst into thick smoke and flames burst out instantly. Xu Xiaojun, the captain of the Water Law Enforcement Brigade of the Municipal Transportation Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment, immediately dispatched and directed the nearby "Suhai Xun 0602 Law Enforcement Boat" to the scene in advance for disposal and report the situation at any time. The "Suhai Patrol 0602 Boat" that was patrolling nearby immediately sounded its siren and flashed its lights and drove to the accident waters for rescue. At the same time, "Suhaixun 0616" ship immediately went for reinforcements. Two law enforcement boats "Suhaixun 0608" and "Sujiao Enforcement 009" went to the scene to guard the accident waters, ordering nearby ships to leave the accident site and passing ships to choose safety locations for mooring and waiting, and it is strictly forbidden to cross the accident waters. On the vast water, rescue boats rushed to the accident waters at the fastest speed.

 

At this time, all fire extinguishers on the "Sutong No. 1 Ship" were used up, and instead of being effectively controlled, the fire gradually spread to the entire ship, and the crew panicked. At that time, the captain decisively ordered the crew to prepare to abandon the ship and escape. One crew member dived to survive, but there were still two people trapped on the ship...At the same time, the heavy-duty drone undertaking the remote coordinated command task accepted the instructions and immediately lifted off to participate in the water search and rescue.The "Suhaixun 0602" ship rushed to the position where the crew fell into the water in time. The law enforcement officers threw the buoys to a crew member in the water to rescue the crew from the falling water; the "Suhaixun 0602" ship went upwind and approached the fired vessel and rescued 2 people. If the crew was trapped, send those in distress to a safe area. The "Suhaixun 0616" law enforcement boat activated the fire cannon, kept a safe distance of 10 meters, and sprayed the water hoses from the upwind to the vessel on fire. The powerful high-pressure water gun was sprayed to the fired part of the ship, and at the same time, the area around the fire was cooled to prevent the fire from spreading. At about 10:25 in the morning, the fire was finally extinguished.

 

However, there were patches of oil on the water. The commander used the walkie-talkie to order two law enforcement boats to continue to implement traffic control in the waters where the incident occurred, and one law enforcement boat to carry out cleanup operations by using oil booms and oil absorbent pads... finally the emergency rescue operations was successful ended.
